Welcome to the Long Weekend.
In addition to being Easter weekend
(no school on Monday), this weekend
is host to the Carolina Cup in
Camden.
For many people, the Cup symbolizes
the ultimate in parties: you,

Or you might take off for a weekend
to the beach, since you do have
an extra day to sit in the sand and
veg.
On a day that starts early and ends
late, such as the Cup, it's easy tc
lose yourself in the festivities. Drinks
flow freely, the sun shines brightly,
and you're surrounded by people
you probably won't claim after three
more beers. (Just kidding about thai
last part. They probably won't claim
I you.)
" But before you take off for a
weekend in the sun and suds, take
a moment to consider a few points.
Alcohol acts as a dehydrant. While
you're taking in liquid, alcohol is
evaporating ana taiang more liquid
with it. So if you're drinking alcohol

If you're able to, avoid the sun between

taking a medication that makes you
photosensitive. Antihistamines,
ibuprofen, certain antibiotics and
birth control pills that contain estrogen
can cause you to be more

The sun can wreak havoc with
more than your skin. It can affect
your stomach if you're not careful.

Mayonnaise-based foods such as

under regulation by the Food and
Drug Administration, the FDA does
offer some guidelines for choosing
the best glasses.
Sunglasses need to block 99 percent
of UVB light. This means the
glasses will offer adequate protection
in moderately bright sunlight.
For high-intensity light, which is
found on the water or at beaches
close to the Equator, side shields or
goggles help.
Many of today's sunglasses are designed
with these guidelines in
mind and offer more protection
than your run-of-the-mill cheap sunglasses.
Whatever your plans for the long
weekend, keep it fun, and keep it
safe. For more information on how
to protect yourself from sun damage,
call the American Cancer Society
or stop by Open Door Health
and Wellness Center for a brochure
on avoiding overexposure to the
sun.

One of the latest video releases is
"The Good Son," a movie about Marie,
a 10-year-old whose mother recently
died, and Henry, his evil cousin.
Mark (Elijah Wood) is living in
Maine with his uncle Wallace (Daniel
Hugh Kelly) and aunt Susan (Wendy
Crewson). He easily makes friends
with their children, -Connie (Quinn
Culkin) and son Henry (Macaulay
Culkin).
At the beginning of the movie, Hen
ry appears to be an average, active little
boy. Later, Henry reveals to Mark
more about himself, exposing a dark,
cruel side. Henry's childish pranks become
serious and dangerous. Though
Mark is upset by these antics, Henry
isn't affected.
Henry's philosophy is "Once you realize
you can do anything, you're free
... Nothing can touch you. Nothing."
Henry becomes more threatening
when Mark learns that Henry killed .
his baby brother, Richard.

Henry tells Mark, "But, hey, accidents
will happen. Just ask my mom
about Richard."
Mark is the only one who sees Henry's
cruelty. He realizes that Henry's
next target is Connie. Mark tries to
warn others in the movie, but no one
believes him.
Henry takes Connie skating and
pushes her onto the breaking ice at
the edge of a pond, making her almost
drown and freeze. She is res
cued, however, but now Mark is more
aware of how brutal Henry can be.
"The Good Son" becomes more intense
when Henry's mom begins to
see truth in Mark's words and makes
a tough choice at the end of the
movie.
The film is dynamic and suspenseful.
The beginning is a little slow, but
the action continually builds until the
end. "The Good Son" is well-acted,
and the actors adapt positively to the
shifts in the movie.
